Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Could I get your opinion of ZJG ETF from BMO please ??
The large cap golds have done really well lately and my guess is that the Junior Gold space will really get it into gear moving forward.
If you have a better alternative to ZJG I would love to hear about it.
Thank you so much for your expertise. DL

Q: I recall asking here why materials stocks, namely gold, were so low. Now with gold prices rocketing I am amusing myself with the opposite worry. I am holding this etf and see that it has had a meteoric rise. Do you think that this is a still a prudent investment or is there a better way to manage my materials exposure? Is gold unnecessarily high right now?

Q: Good afternoon,

I have been purchasing ISRG on its' slide, taking advantage of lower price points then stopping a few months ago at 1/2 a position.

You provided some comment on the company last week, and I would like to follow up

- below what price do you view ISRG stock as a clear buy opportunity?
- would you buy in small bites if this decline continues or at this point hold until something catalyzes the stocks rise?
- what are the factors causing the continued downward drift at this time?

Thanks as always.

Q: In my USD Rif, I have a small number of blue chip dividend payers. I want to reduce single stock risk and diversify across North American and International.
Mandate is, 4% plus yield, low Mer, Large market cap, lower volatility, and Capital preservation more so than appreciation. With respect to these (leaning toward Jepi vs Spyi), do you have any concerns holding over the long term

Q: I note that you have trimmed WELL and are adding CPH. Can you provide a bit more color on CPH. There are few questions in your database and the most recent mention by you has it well down in a long list of companies with growth potential so it is curious to me how it made it to your most recent add list. Many thanks. I too have grown weary of WELL so the might be a good time to move on, to CPH? Thank you

Q: This Tom Lee run company is modeled after Mr Saylor's MSTR but is based on ether instead of bitcoin. I own a small position in BMNR which though volatile is currently up from my entry price. You explained the value reduction of MSTR in a recent question based on competition. You referred to the investment approach in its current circumstances as "Ponzi-like." Could you explain your view on BMNR and whether it too has a Ponzi-like set up. Also if you held this equity would you sell and instead hold an ether ETF as a "safer" way to invest in ether as you recommended regarding MSTR and investing in bitcoin or is there a distinction between MSTR and BTMR such that you would continue to hold the latter. Appreciate your response.
